In the Big City

Literature & Fiction

Ingold, Doug

United States

This book is about a dream, about a man who wanted to sail the South Seas and Asian waters aboard his own boat, but with the earnings of a writer, he lacked the finances. Neverthe-less, with little money but a lot of determination, he made that dream come true, through a rather cunning scheme. You will read about the people, famous and not so famous, who sailed aboard her, about her adventures and landfalls, about pirates, renegades and typhoons she encountered. You will read about her tragic loss in a hurricane that ravaged the Hawaiian Islands. This is more than a yachting tale about a schooner; it is an inspiration to both young and old who dream about going to sea aboard a sailing ship. Not since Jack London has there been another book like it.

The Tower and the River

This book is about two men who wanted to drive around the world, to remote corners, to those places where few men have ventured before. They wanted to do it in a four-wheel drive, taking their own camper-trailer with them, to live at the edge of deserts and at the rim of tropical jungles, to drive the highest roads, and the lowest, to be free to make their own choices, and the Trans World Expedition was born. This is their incredible journey. That they did it, and how they did it is their tale told in this exciting book.

History

Military

Corporal Harry Martin served with the US Marines in China after World War II until the Communist takeover in 1949. Harry witnessed China in the raw, and was happy to get back home to Michigan in one piece and return to civilian life. For thirty Years he put China out of his mind, until one day when a notorious blackmarketeer, Joe Gionetti, appeared. Joe and his partner had been big time operators in Tsingtao, but Joe got caught and was brought to trial. Harry was a key witness that put Joe away. Joe served his time in prison and refused to disclose where he had stashed millions away in China. Joe was now terminally ill and he asked Harry to return to Tsingtao to retrieve the money. Could Harry trust Joe? Would the money still be there? How could Harry get back to Tsingtao, not an easy thing to do in 1978? Luck fell Harry's way when he was offered a position as mate aboard a Swedish grain ship leaving the Great Lakes bound for Shanghai and Tsingtao. Harry took the position and found more adventure than he bargained for, from the very moment he stepped aboard the ill fated ship until he reached Tsingtao where his troubles really began. --- from book's back cover
